[2015·河北唐山一模]I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I spied a_welldressed_man dashing down the steps. He was hailing (招手) me. I waited until he jumped into the cab. “LaGuardia Airport, please，” he said.
As always, I wondered about my passenger. “What do you do？” “I'm in the neurology department (神经内科) at this hospital.” For some unknown reason， I decided to ask for his help.
“Could I ask a favour of you？” He didn't answer.
“I have a son, 16.
He's doing well in school.
He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job？” After a pause, he said, “The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in.
Have him send me his school records.”
He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
That evening,
I pulled the card from my pocket. “Robbie，” I announced proudly, “this could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records.” He read it out loud, “Fred Plum, New York Hospital.”“Is this a joke？” he said in disbelief.
After I yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.
Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was.
As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. To our delight， Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.
It never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my son's future.
一名出租车司机向他的乘客求助，希望对方能为自己上高中的儿子提供一份暑期工作。正是这位陌生人的帮忙改变了出租车司机儿子的未来。

3．It can be inferred from the passage that Plum is ________.
A．patient and selfless B．generous and respectful

[2015·吉林长春质检二]Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers' milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow “will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”， which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants (婴儿)”， said the institute. “The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk，” said the statement.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene. While their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants，”said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina Kirchner,
President of Argentina,
said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the “honor” of having the cow named after her. “They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”
阿根廷国家农业综合科技研究所的科学家们日前宣布，他们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。
5．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The importance of genetic engineering.
B．Ways to improve mothers' milk.
C．A cloned cow to produce humanlike milk.
D．Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
答案：C 考查主旨大意。根据文章第一段“Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk”可知，阿根廷的科学家们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。故选C项。
6．Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?
A．have more varieties than
B．be more similar to
C．have more nutrition than
D．be more different from
答案：B 考查词义猜测。根据第四段的第二、三句可知，阿根廷的研究组称中国研究组仅放入了一个人类基因，而他们的研究包含了两个，这意味着产出的牛奶将和人奶更相似。故选B项。
7．What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?
A．She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B．She considered it an honor to name the special cow.
C．She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D．She refused to give a name to the cow out of selfrespect.
答案：A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段Cristina Kirchner的话“made all Argentines proud”可推知，她对这个研究感到非常满意。故选A项。
1．nutrition n. 营养；营养学 2.statement n. 声明；陈述
3．involve vt. 包含；牵涉
4.reject vt. 拒绝；抵制
5．proper adj. 适当的；适合的

原文：Scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. (非谓语动词作定语)
译文：中国科学家出版了研究细节，表明他们已经生产出可以产出含有在母乳中发现的蛋白的乳牛。

6．a 考查冠词。diary为可数名词，故应用不定冠词a，表泛指。
